The first part of a new science-fiction series （系列劇）was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft（宇宙飛船）which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, we’ll find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.

Let’s think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is ‘communicators’. And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because you’ll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won’t have to examine you – a machine will ‘read’ your body. The strangest manchine includes a ‘teleport’ which will take people to a different placein a second!

The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there’s only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company （公司）will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn’t improve, Star Trek won’t last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can’t see into the future!

1.What is Star Trek?

A. A TV play. B. A popular song.

C. A spacecraft. D. An alien.

2.What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean?

A. Lucky and happy. B. Hopeful and confident.

C. Helpful and creative. D. Thankful and popular.

3.What’s the writer’s opinion about Star Trek?

A. The life forms on other planets are stupid.

B. Interesting ideas make a new series popular.

C. The new series might not be successful without better actors.

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Aliens on Other Planets. B. The Idea of Human Life.

C. A Science Fiction. D. A New Series about Future.

Most of us have three meals a day .We take food for granted(想當(dāng)然)。And we don’t think about it. experts argue a food crisis(危機(jī))is coming.This crisis is going to make us the way we think about food.

Food is in great need a growing of world population.By 1960,the population was three billion.It doubled to six billion by 1999.By 2050,this planet will need to at least nine billion people.As a result,the food prices get higher and higher.

So,what can a ,crowed world do?One suggestion is to eat meat.Meat uses more natural resources(資源)than grains(谷物) .It requires more to produce one pound of meat than to produce one pound of grain. It also requires between 5 and 10 times more than vegetables. So ,eating less meat will more land for farming,and it will save water.

To eats less meat,people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be .Americans, for example,have loved meat. In general, They eat twice as much meat as people in other countries.At the same time,in developing countries like China and Brazil,sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years. will double again by 2050.Growing need of meat wil1 to put pressure on natural resources.

World population is increasing,resources are becoming fewer,and food prices are rising.Therefore, we need to rethink we eat every day. For meat lovers, we don’t need to give up meat .But we need to eat more grains and less meat.21cnjy

China is a nation of etiquette(禮儀). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.

When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks(小吃) like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.

At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat (款待) their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won’t happen at western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you are done eating, the host usually says, ”It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.

Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago:

To meet friends from after
